Signing on fees I'm guessing
At long last you get a taste of your own medicine :winking:
Obvious one liner set-up aside, I really don't think there should be any expectation of play-offs. If we are losing money anywhere near the figure Tara Brady says we are, and considering the expected downturn in season ticket money and attendances, budgets will I'm sure be on much more of a shoestring and we simply won't compete for signings against more settled and better run clubs.
Mid table was a fairly decent achievement this season. Emulating it should be the expectation and anything above that a bonus.
ok I'm naive, please explain
We were only 7 points off from 7th this year! So it isn't completely un realistic! Especially as Plymouth will have to release everybody! I definitely do fancy automatic promotion next season, atleast!

Coincidentally the same number of points as we dropped against the relegated two clubs.
FWIW I'm still in disbelief that Barnet haven't gone down. We played them three times and they were abysmal three times.
'At least' points towards the very minimum you would expect...so if automatic promotion is the very least you will expect, what better than that is there? :stunned:
Automatic promotion and the FA Cup.

Heard it from the horses mouth to-day that sales of season cards are a bit down compared with time last year. If Sturrock`s budget is linked to sales it is not good news but perhaps not surprising.

but didn't we sign 10+ players in a 2/3 week period . How would we have possibly paid all these signing on fees all hitting us at the same time ?

My understanding is that at least part of the signing on fee is deferred. You'll sometimes see a transfer where a fee has been agreed and the player has agreed terms with the buying club but the transfer is held up as the player still has to sort out money with the selling club - this is usually the signing on fee and if the player has requested a transfer he forfeits that money.
